Mark User as Contributor

Mark User as Contributor [vB3]

Coded by: assassingod
Original: MarkB

Thanks to MarkB for letting me port this hack to vBulletin 3 and creating the original.

Description:
This allows you as an administrator to mark users if they have donated to your website. You can use text/icon whatever you want by editing the phrase. It appears in postbit and the users profile

IMHO, this is the best way to do it. There is no file hack needed, only the template modification. This is a power of VB3!

that is an option m8 but its not the easiest way to do it as you have to setup different usergroups it would be best done under subscription id then whoever has subscribed to one of the subsriptions you can make a different gif for each

but saying that I don't know what the code is for subscription id or even if its a condition cuz noone answered me when I asked

I liked this mod... I took the template-only suggestion and it worked great. I still clicked Install since the idea and original intent was very good.

It'd be nice if you could mark them as different levels (like "Contributor" if they dontate $XX-$XX, "Donator" if $XX-$XX, and so on). But it's still really nice as is. I'll install it soon.

again you can make it a conditional using fields.

First make the regular Contributor tag . Then make new field get the ID number and once more using the conditional to display the amount if that field is populated ( of course only admins would have access to input the amount there)

Would be nice to have "Contributor page" as a VB page with header, footer, navbar ect .. with links to their profiles.

EX:

Yoursite.com would like to extend its thanks to the following individuals who have helped us pay back some of our debts and expenses over the years.
blaw, blaw blaw blaw......

SELECT `userid` , `username` , `contrib` 
FROM `user` 
WHERE 1 AND `contrib` =1
ORDER BY `usergroupid` ASC  LIMIT 0 , 30

Thoughts ?

for the image showing up in the postbit, couldnt you just use the rank feature.I set mine up using subscriptions which are automatic, and a new rank for that usergroup they entered with the $ image for rank.
